I have had these green and neutral noodles for a while now and knew that I wanted to use them for a log cabin lap quilt for out living room. I had to go and buy a few more greens and neautrals today b/c I did not want to duplicate the same material in the same square. It measures 30X59.5". It is top only. Will work on completing it later this week.

not a great angle, will post when complete

Oh my gosh Kyia, first, the colours are so pretty, and second, i have never seen a log cabin done with the little strips you have added too, it's absolutely gorgeous! :)

Janstar 10-12-2008 06:06 PM

I love it and I've never seen the small strips used either. Is that your idea? It's cool!

babeegirl 10-12-2008 06:15 PM

those are lovely :)

Kyiav10 10-12-2008 06:41 PM

Thank you all for the compliments. Yes the small strips are my idea. was going to make a gult just using the thin strips which are 1 1/4 inches but I thought it would take too long and use up all my strips before being the size I wanted so I thought I would mix it up a little bit.

Jim's Gem 10-12-2008 07:24 PM

That's going to be beautiful. I love the way you are mixing the different size strips!!!

sewaholic 10-12-2008 07:30 PM

Looking Good. :) Very interesting with the narrow and wider borders.
Will be watching for the finished quilt.

WOW very beautiful, have never seen a log cabin with the different size strips. I love it! For sure on my to do list. Thanks for sharing. :D

Marcia 10-12-2008 09:17 PM

Well, it is unanimous---everyone loves you wide and narrow strips---and so do I!!! I think you are on to something here. A terrific log cabin variation. This is going to be a stunning quilt. Cannot wait to see it finished.

Perfect i like the small strips added. PERFECT

barnbum 10-13-2008 03:18 AM

Wow--that's a new way to make a log cabin! Just look at all those strips! It's going to be beautiful. The colors are very calming.

Alaskan lady 10-13-2008 03:25 AM

Wow......your log cabin squares are really fascinating~ 53 pieces of fabric in one square is amazing. Will be excited to see when you post the final picture. Thanks for sharing.

bearpaw 10-13-2008 03:56 AM

Looks awesome! It's already been said, but I love the way the thinner strips look too!! Great idea!! :mrgreen:

Elizabeth A. 10-13-2008 04:29 AM

kyia that looks really good. Like photo frames, or something beautiful enough to be hung on the wall instead of sat on upon the couch. ;) Your work is as beautiful as it is precise!

Kyiav10 10-13-2008 07:01 AM

Thank you all for the kind words. I am liking the look also of the different size strips. I am going to make some log cabin table runnerwith the scraps. I saw one on this site that I liked and will see if I can figure it out at another time.

Thanks again!

Mplsgirl 10-13-2008 07:09 AM

Very creative!

Shelley 10-13-2008 08:12 AM

Ohh, I like this!!!! Not the usual Log Cabin, very, very pretty.

LongArm Hat on now: This quilt has lots of 'open' area to do something spectacular!!! Way to go!!!!

Quilt4u 10-13-2008 08:42 AM

Love it.

Belinda 10-13-2008 01:15 PM

Totally awesome!!! Can't wait to see a picture of this one finished!!!

gcathie 10-14-2008 01:29 AM

Oh my that is so special looks great!

Mamagus 10-14-2008 02:48 AM

Wow! What a beautiful throw that will make. Am I seeing it correctly? Two blocks and that's the entire quilt? SWEET!!

My log cabin blocks are often a bit "wonky" so I paper piece them! Yours is so straight and pretty!

Lovely!


PS... What a great use of a pool table!!!

mary quite contrary 10-14-2008 03:49 AM

I love the block and I love your creativity.

Yes onlye the two blocks. I wanted to do just one log cabin block but I only had 42" of some fabric so I did the two and am pleased with it.

I don't think my husband likes too much that I use the pool table but as long as I don't put anything heavy it's ok.

I will soon be moving all my quilting stuff upstairs including my king size hand quilting frame. It will be even tighter than it is in the family room.

That's a beautiful log cabin pattern. I like the variation in widths of your strips. Also a favorite color combination of mine.

Missi 10-14-2008 03:21 PM

I absolutely love it!!!

sandpat 10-14-2008 03:53 PM

Love it! I'm in the same boat with all the others that like your use of different width strips. The colors are so sophisticated too...very nice...waiting to seee more progress on it now.. :wink:

Absolutely gorgeous. Wonderful idea using the thin strips. Love it.

chairjogger 10-16-2008 06:10 PM

Great ! I love the log cabin. There are some new ways to arrange the squares too! Run !

bluebird 10-16-2008 07:37 PM

That is beautiful, and the different widths really make it neat. Good job :D

don't do dishes 10-17-2008 04:06 AM

Very nice! I like what you did with the different widths of fabric. It adds a whole new dimension to the block. I want to make a log cabin Christmas tree table runner for the holidays. Varied widths with lights and darks will make a great tree. thanks for sharing.

Quilting Aggi 10-17-2008 05:21 PM
